Welcome to this week's Games Update, our weekly summary featuring all new product arrivals from the last seven days.
Interesting games that came out this week include the US versions of hot games such as
Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice and
Tales of Vesperia. So to those who owned NTSC U/C encoded systems or those who don't speak Japanese, here is your portal to these hit Japanese RPGs.
Aside from localized RPGs, some very popular Xbox360™ games came out. Fight dirty in
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, unlike the above mentioned Japanese RPGs, you are not located in a fantasy world where there is a path to justice, you are not fighting to become a hero, you are trying to benefit from chaos.
The other Xbox360™ game differs greatly from the above mentioned fiery actioner.
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise is about creating an utopic world for pinata animals. Since rent has become expensive and very few people have the luxury of owning a garden the size of a forest, make use of your Xbox360™ portal to another world.
No matter how forgiving a person is, there must have been one or two people whom they love to hate.
Face Breaker allows you to relieve this grudge and lower your stress levels. Disfigure your opponent's face through your powerful punches, but be careful not to mix up the virtual world with reality.
Your home consoles can make a lot of your wishes come true, not only can you own a paradise-like garden, now you can even own multiple Ferraris through your PlayStation3™.
Ferrari Challenge allows you to join professional and amateur racers on the most famous race tracks around the world.
Get off your Ferraris and enter the Abyss to deplete the demon population as the queen's champion in
Abyss Gate. Travel into the depths of the shadows to protect your country. Although menacing, shadows are not neccessarily a source of evil, in
Blue Dragon Plus, a sequel to its highly popular Xbox360™ predecessor, you cast your shadow over your enemies as weapons.
Aside from games, a couple of interesting soundtracks also came out. The challenge bemani games pose have amused and frustrated many people and the key to the games' success is in the music.
Synthesized, by Fujimori Sota and
Pop'n Music 16 Party is going to revitalize a lot of people via its energetic tunes.
